25 photos and videos of China&#039;s Celebration of Light fireworks

On Saturday, Team China took over the night skies of English Bay for the first fireworks show celebrating the Honda Celebration of Light’s 25th anniversary.

An estimated 250,000 people crammed downtown Vancouver’s beaches to watch the 25 minute spectacle that began at 10 p.m. The show was put on by the Jiangxi Province Lidu Fireworks Corporation.

There were no major incidents during the fireworks night, with Vancouver Police reporting only liquor pour-outs and fines for smoking.
